TO TI L COUNTY BOARD OF BAYFIELD COUNTY:
Vile, the undersigned San.:.torium Committee. hereby submit the follow-
ing report together with our recommendations..
i
�- On the information that a -petition had been circulated authorizing
the construction of a residence for the attending physician not to exceed the
sum of ten thousand five hundred dollars, we assumed the right to represent Bay -
field County at the opening of the: bids as no building committee had been appointed
at the last meeting of the
County .Board..
On September
26th this committee
met,
with commi -t.ees of Ashland
and iron and
the following
is a detailed report
of this
meeting:

On motion C. A. Poundstone was elected Chairman and R. C. Bretting Secretary
of the meeting.

Albert %iloore- 92.75

Davis. Electric Co 225.
After considering the above bids and estimating additions, such as fix-
ing up the grounds and walks, it was concluded that the total cost of the building
when finished could run to practically hbl3,000.00. The Architect's estimates
fell down on account of the heating and plumbing running considerable higher than
his estimate. This was caused on account of the construction of, and length of
the heating pipes from the present boiler plant to the building. Some discussion
took place regarding putting in a separate heating plant, but is was not deerlled
advisable, on account of the additional cost of handing the fuel and the central
heating y)lanT being amply large enough to take care of this matter much more
economically in the long run.
After other discussion it was finally moved by j"r. Angsk and seconded
by Lr. 1-Toodhead that the trusteeS. enter into a contract with Pugh & Rundlett
on the General Contract; 141. Reinhardt on the plumbing and heating contract;
Albert Koore on the tuiring contract. For the building the specificationscall
for completion on December 20th. On roll call the vote was as follows:

On account of the dissenting late
of the Bayfield County representatives
they were a.sked their reasons and they
stated that the total cost of the
build-
ing was more than •$10,500.00, which was
the original estimated cost for
the
building, and they did not care to take
the responsibility of additional
cost
without getting the sentiment of their
Board. The ren. tter Ufa-_ trA„ i Af+
+n +� o
Trustee from Bayfield County and their committee to make a canvass of the Bayfield
County Board relative to addition to the contract. The understanding was that
Ashland and Iron Counties were willing to go ahead, providing Bayfield County
acquiesced to the matter. In other words., Trustee O'Malley and the committee
from Bayfield County are to make a personal canvass from the members of the Bayfield
. Count. Board innediatel so as to y y get immediate action on this matter. This was
deemed advisable so as to start construction at as early a date as possible, if
the. Bayfield County Board members were satisfied.
Meeting adjourned.
R. C. Bretting, Secretary.
L
At the request of those present we.were instructed to canvass the County
and ascertain -the attitude. of'the members_ of the Board in regard to the increased
cost of construction a -a shown by the lowest bidder.
Not being able to get the authority from the -majority, weadvised the trustees
that if'the construction price Could not be lowered to come within the pledge of
the majority of the members of the County Board, the matter would have to lay over
until the next meeting of the Board.
At another meeting held at Ashland October 28th, the following reductions
were made: Elimination of `file. Roof, using inatead.,-prepaired roofing reducing
the lost about five hundred dollars. and installing an. individual heating � g plant
instead of connecting up with the central plant lowering the cost about four hund-
red and sixty dollars. Several other minor changes were made, bringing the contract
i
price down to ten thousand four hundred dollars.
i
We believe it to be false economy to install an�indeyendent heating plant
as the extra cost of operation would in a short length of time more than make up
the difference in present cost. j
On investigation of the grounds and buildings we find them in orderly
j condition. We also find that the cost per patient has been reduced from seventeen
dollara and fifty-two cents to fourteen dollars and thirty-two cents.
I � '
! Upon examination we found that pay patients both in our County and outside
were charged a rate of eighteen dollars per week, while outside County patients can
I
only be charged the actual cost of maintenance. We feel that an injustice has been
I
done and we recommend that a straight rate be charged to all.

Gentlemen:
We the undersigned committee on illegal taxes beg leave to report
that we -have examined the following tax certificates issued by the various

find
them illegal. However,
due

ANNUALS +STING OF THE B1hYFIELD COUNTY BOARD
November 11, 1924:
in allowing the. 1&.rge. accumulation of illegal certificates together frith the
resultant negligence. of the Quunty Clerk'or Treasurer along the same lines, we
do not believe it fair to charge these old certificates back to the various
taxing districts., but we recommend that they be cancelled and the amount of
same be charged to the Certificate Account of Bayfield County.

Be. it. res-olved that the. Bayfield Yien's. Club hereby expresses- its

upon the. county Board the elimination of what may be called the Trills and

Furthermore, that w-e express our willingness -to sacrifice some of
these things. for the sake of economy and the less-ening of the burden of tax-

development of the. unoccupied- lands of the county.

each of the months. of March, April and May of each year in each of said deposit-
ory banks., . and
VMREAS the various banks of the County, now members of Tri-County
Association of banks, have notified the County.Treasurer that they will pay but

(3) per cent as hither -to, now be it,,and it is.hereby
RESOLVE'D by the Bayfield County Board of Supervisors in their annual
meeting a.assmbled this ll-th day of November, 1924, that the action taken at the
spring meeting be rescinded and that the interest on the average daily deposits

notion carried. The following report was then read:
X To the County Board of Bayfield County:
This report is a continuance of the committee's spring report.
We, the undersigned committee., to whom was referred further inspection
of the Oulu road, did in company vvith Highway Cormiissioner john'.rriberg make such
inspection oai. October 23,1924.
In a. former report the committee called attention to one mile of road
in the Town of Tripp connecting 'up with the proposed Oulu road which w.as called
to their attention too late for inspection last spring. In going over this mile
during our latest trip we found it to be a very satisfactory piece of road conn-
ecting up with County TrunkA and by far the most economical to adopt. By
adopting the same it eliminates lh miles from the original proposal which would
need. to be. entirely and newly constructed.
The committee also called attention in their former report the fact
ANNUAL MEET-ING OF THE. BAYFILLD COUNTY BOARD
Nov_em er _11_,-1RP-4—
that there was considerable work in progress. and also contemplated during the road
i
season on this particular road, such as, building a concrete and steel bridge,
l '
installing and replacing plank culverts with the more up to date corrugated steel.
These improvements have all been made during the sumriier as well as consideralle
;
other improvements. in the way of grading and ditching, etc.
�rTe found the road generally quite satisfactory for adoptio-n to the
secondary system of county high<rrays. with the exception of the, last mile running
in a westerly direction where it connects with a Douglas County Highway, which
we understand was only recently added to their County System. This mile of road
will no 'doubt be given some attention during the next road season:
I
It is .also the committee's belief that the County should not
assume any responsibility until such time it ,rill have made an appropriation.
we, do however, recommend that .in the fall of 1925 the highway Road and Bridge
Committee take this mileage into consideration in their budget for their 1926
road program.
�- The road for which the com~aittee makes. final recommendation for
adoption starts on County Trunk A about 2z miles North of Iron River Village
in town of Tripp, West 2 miles, North 1 mile, lest 3 miles, north 1 mile, `;lest
1 mile, North 3 miles and %est 1 mile between the Towns of Orienta and Oulu
to Douglas County line.

To the Honorable County Board,
Bayfield County, "ffisconsin.
Gentlemen:
As Treasurer of Bayfield County, Ffisconsin, I beg to report the follow-
ing facts and Figures in connection with the delinquent taxes returned by the
various. Town:, City and Village Treasurers for Lhe taxes of 1923. These figures
are approximate but nearly accurate:
Total amount returned delinquent .",,p'139,000.00
Amount collected as County Taxes 7jefore the
sale June loth 26,000.00
Amount that went to sale 113,000.00
Tax Certificates sold at sale 66,465.00
The number of tax certificates issued this year amounted to 8,030.
In 1920 the number of tax certificates issued was less than 3,800 which shows
an increase of 111% in the four years. This increase, of course, does- not
apply to all of '.he taxing districts of the County, but more particularly to the
City of Iffashburn and those towns. having a. large acreage of barren lands.
From the above. figures it will be seen that the amount of work handled
in the office of the Treasurer has more than doubled in four years and the earnings
of the office increased, that much, the total for the past year exceeding $7,000

Gentlemen:
R.. W. Smi th _
County Treasurer
Bayfield County, 7[i s .
As Treasurer of Bayfield County and under instructions of your body
to -,take tax deed on all tax certificates held by the County, I beg to report
that deeds have been taken on all of the old tax certificates up to and in-
cluding the sale of 1921 with the exception of those which the committee on
illegal taxes -are recommending you to cancel as illegal and some comparatively
few certificates on which we have served tax deed notices to occupants and
mortgagees.
So far the bulk of the tax deeds taken cover City and Village lots
only, but I wish to call your attention to the fact that a't-the present time
the county holds certificates on a large number of land descriptions of the
1922 sale, which become subject to tax deed in June-1925. Included in this
sale is a large acreage of the so called barren lands, the removal of which
from the various assessment rolls is greatly to be desired. For this. purpose
I have asked a recommendation from the Finance Committee for an appropriation
of 300 for the ensuing year.
Acting under the authority of a resolution passed by your honorable
body at the special spring meeting,,..the county Clerk has issued quit -claim deeds
on certain properties in the Cities of Bayfield and 1a.shburn and the Village
of Iron Rives, the proceeds from which sales -have about covered the entire ex-
pense of taking all of the tax deeds, taken this year. We have under consider-
ation'other sales at the present time -which will amount to over 44pl,000.

IMMEREAS the operation o,� the Exemption law, known as the homestead
exemption law, being Section 2 of Chapter. 435, laws -of 1923, has proved to be
unfair and unequal in its enforcement and has been detrimental to the taxing
power of the various municipalities of the state.
NOW, THEREFORE,, be it resolved by the (bounty Board of Bayfield
County, in annual session duly convened, that the Legislature of the State of.
`fisconsin, at. its_:coming 1925 session., be requested to repeal said later.

'e wish the County Board to take some action in regard to the house tipped
into the Sioux River channe-1 on State Trunk Highway #13 between Washburn and
Bayfield. We believe that in the spring of the year it. will cause damage to the
road by daming up the ,;rater and cutting off a. part of the road. This particular
place is the most dangerous for a washout in Bayfield County and we have already
had one. there.
The Highway Commission made inquiry to the District Attorney on whataction
to take and he thought it would be the best way to take it up zith the County Board
as we have no right to move or destroy someone el.se's property-.

We, the. -committee on the County Fair,, report as. follows:
The -Fair Association had a deficit of $852.76 on January 1, 1924. 11,Te find ' +
the -expenses for 1924 are $2,537,50 compared with $5,267.74 for 1923. This diff-
erence is du•e to the fact thatwe had only two days fair- in 1924 and three days
and that we had three days of horse racing in 1923
fair in 1923nand only one. day of racing in 1924. It was. moved and seconded that the
report of The Bayfield County Fair Association for•1923 and 1924 be.approved. Acc-
ording to the statement of 1924 the present indebtedness, of the County Fair is
$3,128.43.
It was moved., s.econded' and carreed that we. recommend the sum of $2, 500 be
appropriated by this Board for 1925. This will leave an indebtedness. of $628.43

To the , hembers.. of the Iron, Bayf i eld and Ashland. County Boards.
The matter of moving. the Ashland County Fair Grounds has been under.con-
sideration for some time and suggestions have been made that we fora tri-County
Fair, located -as near the City of Ashland as possible, to include Iron, Bayfield
and Ashland.Counties. Committees have been appointed and meetings have been held
for the Purpose of getting estimates and the opinion of thos-e interested. So
this letter is to inform the different County Board members what has been done.
It has been suggested the City of Ashland would probably give subatan-
tial help if ground would be so situated .and buildings of proper c Instruction be
erected.
We believe it would be far better arrangement by having a Tri- County
Fair, in a financial way,. and the initial expense will not be greatly in excess
of the yearly cost of putting on two fairs at the present time.
Better entertainments of all kinds could be had, and with new grounds
everyone would sake a more lively interest in the fair. Larger and more premiums
could be paid which would mean better advertising for this. district.
.Estimated cost of grading, new buildings and all equipment necessary
for putting on a fair on new grounds.

The cost of new grounds are not taken into consideration as we have
the assurance of the City of Ashland will take over the old grounds fo:r cemetary
purposes and provide at least 60 or 80 acres in a suitable. location nearer the
city for our needs.
Some definite action coupled with an appropriation should be made at
this annual meeting of the different County Boards, for. if it is put over at this:
meeting it will mean a whole year's delay, and the cemetary association are

To Honorable. County _Clerk.
Bayfield County
Bayfield, ,Via.
Dear Sir>
On the 6th day of August this year while traveling from Duluth to
Ashland on route 10 my car wa's, badly damaged, due to a bad.spot in the highway
about
300 feet east of Moquah Garage.
I was not. traveling fast as: I -thought I was within the village limits
and eras keeping to the right of the road in case I should meet an opposing car.
At this: point there .is a. side. road to the South
,. the patrolman had, just dragged
this: part of the road and it all appeared to be hard and smooth. Just as I was
about to pass this side road the main highway upo' nwh�ch I vas traveling gave
away and -my right fro'-twheel sank into the road about 10 inches; 'the surface
of the side road, of course being hard, had the same e'ffecf as hitting a solid
wall., The results were that ray front"axle wasbadly bent and the steering apar-
atus;damaged so tjia.t I could not control the car from the steering wheel. The
impact was so great that it shattered the left rear side plate glass, a piece of
which cut deep'
gash in my sister's back. The car bounded wildly to' the left a??d.
as the highway is down grade at this point my car gained considerable headway
and went into the left ditch and down a. deep gullet' and overturned, Other auto -a!
stopped and assisted us and took my mother and sister to Ashland where my Sister
got medical attention.
I hired a. garage man in lloquah who had a team of horses to lift up
the. car and pull it to the garage. They fixed the axle and steering apparatus
SO I could slowly drive to Ashland ,:There I had the car- repaired.
I was advised by an Ashland Attorney that the case bears sufficient
ANNUAL 1iTEET ING - 0F - T Hu _ BAYFIE LD,__-CO_UN TY B.OARD,
November 11, 1924.
--- - --
grounds for damages..TV
He advises me to write you an ask that thisbill be presente
at the next regualr meeting of your County Boa.rd.
The loss., of course, is more than one could really claim, as there
were some articles lost from the car,but I have nothing -to show that I really had
such articles. The-refore. I am presenting this in the form of a hill to cover the
below expenses. The bill from the garage is attached.

be complied with and that the bill be disallowed. Motion carried unanimously.

ANNUAL MEETING OF THE BAYFIELD COUNTY BOARD
No vemberl l ,_ 1924._
, 'ale the undersigned committee on Sheriff's, Justices' and Constable
fees, wish to report, that in addition to the bills -.already examined and item-
iz.ed, we have examined the reports. required by law from the several courts of the
County and have found them to be in good shape. .Ve also found, that in a few
cases, only sixty per cent ,Alas remitted to the county Treasurer for fines and
costs. The balance has been left unpaid so far. This was due to the closing
of the Banks in Mashburn December, 1913. The clerk has separate reports cover-
ing these items.
vVe recommend that the sum of three hundred dollars be appropriated
for. the purchas.e of a new Ford car for the Sheriff's 'office.
Respectfully submitted this 8th day of November, 1924.

Motion was made and seconded that the above report be adopted as
read and that the clerk be instructed to pla-ce the same on file. Motion carried.
The following report of the Road and Bridge Committee was then rdad:
PAGE 1.
TO THE BAYFIELD COUNTY BOARD
We., the undersigned, County Highway Committee and County Highway
Commissioner submit the following report of work done and expenditures for the
year, of 1924, together with our recommendations for improvements for the year
of 1925.
FEDERAL AID:
There is.a Federal Aid. system of roads1 in the State of Wisconsin
i as well as a. State System of Highways, consisting of seven per cent (7%) ' of the
ap ,roximate total mileage of highways in the. State, the first four (4) of the
seven per cent to be inter -state roads and the second three (3) of the seven per
cent.to be, inter -county roads. Cf the first or inter -State classification, Bay -
field County has State Trunk Highway #10 on the Federal Aid System and_-dligible
for the expenditures of Federal Aid money. Of the second classification, Bayfield
County has State Trunk Highway #24,on the Federal Aid System and State Trunk High-
way #13 from the Ashland County line to Bayfield but no farther, these tvio are
also .eligible for Federal Aid. Numbers, 125, 112 and 13 from Bayfield t.o Superior
is ngt eligible for the expenditure of Federal Aid money, and if built at all must
be built with County or State Aid funds, The raising of Federal Aid money has
also.been changed so that the County does. not participate in the raising of the
Federal Aid funds. The. s-tate meets the Federal Aid dollar for dollar and there-
by eliminates the county entirely. Heretofore the county has been obliged to
raise. 1/3 of the ea-timated.Fed.eral improvement. In each of the three jobs that
have .been done in this manner in this county, the county has found it, necessary
to bond to raise this money. There will be no assessment against Eayfield County
for Federal improve went this year.
58
ANNUAL 18ETING OF TIC BAYFDPLD COUNTY BOARD
November 11,._1924..___,__-__
STATE AID -
Page T2.
The state aid for Dayf i eld County in the year of 1925 amounts to
$4.,041.82. The first fifty per cent of phis amount must be placed upon the State
Trunk Highway system and must be met by one and one-half times that amount of County
money. The second fifty per cent must be placed upon the prospective State High-
ways or secondary system of the County and must be met by a like amount from the
County and a like amount from the Town or Towns in which the improvement takes
place. The 17isconsin Highway Commiss.ion cooperates with the County Highway Comm-
ittee in the location of the State money.
COUNTY HIGHWAY FUNDS
County funds for highway purposes are limited by law to two mills
on -the dollar of the assessed valuation of the county, which for the year of 1925
will give us $50.732.96 for high�,,ay purposes. I.t will be easily seen if you study
this report that the amount of money cannot possibly take care of all the work
that needs to be done in Bayfield County.
You will notice that we have tried to place the greater part- of the
county and State aid funds on that part of the county and state system of highways
that can not receive Federal aid money, and also it is placed in a part of Bayfield
County that has no railway service of any kind at the present time, where the
people. of this district have no way of transporting their products except by these
highways which are very poor to say the least.
Page #3.
<`le believe this .to be good economy. `,'Ve also believe that the placing
of a larger appropriation on each job is economy, because with small appropriations,
the moving and overhead costs eat up a larger part -of the money and the jobs nan not
be completed and the road therefore is kept torn up year after year, while with a
larger amount and fewer jobs they can be completed in one season.
SO LUT I ONS ASKED
01e ask that your board pass a resolution discontinuing. that portion
of State trunk Highway 24 ,�ihic:n begins. at. the East end of Project 187 and continuing
in a 1,11esterly direction to the Vlest end of Federal Aid Project 187 a distance of
about eight and eight -tenths miles.
'1e ask that your board pass a resolution discontinuing that portion
of old State `.Drunk Highway #224 in the village of Drummond about one mile more or
less.
ffe a.sk.that your board pasts a resolution discontinuing that portion
j of County Trunk Highway "D" between the old State Trunk Highway #24 and the new
state Trunk Highway JJ 4, a distance of about � mile near Grandview.
f
fe ask t:mat your board pass a Resolution discontinuing that portion
of County Trunk Highway "A" from where the new -cut-off begins a. t or near the SW
corner of the RV14 of the of Section 12-451\T-9W to the Town Hall in the Town of

A brief expLAnation for the. above recommendations may be interesting
to the board.
State. Trunk ilighway #112 and #125 are well graded and are in good
shape and do not need any money this year, while from Cornucopia to the Sand River
on #13 tie road is very poor and. ae,'ther.efore, think it best to put the 1st 50% of
State aid there.
County Trunk "E" from #24 to Ashland County line has been completely
regraded and does not need any further appropriations.
County Trunk v, from T:ETason to Ino has had a. large expenditure
of money recently and we can not see our %vay blear to place any money there this
year although there are 22 miles, left. to grade.
County Trunk Highway I'D" from Gr.andvie.ty to Cable is the easiest road
in the. County to maintain with patrolmen while.a.t the same time it is.a very ex-
pensive road to build and but very little can be done with a small appropriation
so we'think the people there should have patience until a large enough amount of
money can be.put there. to do some. real good.
County Trunk Highway '-`A" from Drummond to Iron River is in fair
condition except. for one mile from Barnes to the Douglas County line so vie Make -
no appropriation for this road. County Trunk "Al' fromlron River to Port Ming is
the poore-st and heaviest traveled county trunk highway in the county so we have
therefor placed the 2nd 50,., of S:taae avid these..
County Trunk highway " V is a, very heavy traveled highway and next
to County Trunk Highway "A" from Iron River to Port `,'ing is in the poorest con-
dition of any so we have thereforeplaced a small appropriation there.
State Trunk Highway #10 we expect to betaken care of with Federal
Aid money as, also w.,i ll be ter 4.
In tl,e Fla River Flats. on #13 there are three bridges that need
while West of port Wing there- are two bridges th,4Tneed replacing.
replacing/ They will be very expensive to replace :rith concrete so:_we thought
best to repair them with lumber which will last for a number of years.

77e recommend -that either a certified public accountant or other
competent auditor be obtained to audit the books of the County instead of the
Wisconsin Tax Commission owing to the high cost of the latter. ',le believe
this auditing can be made at about one-third or one-fourth of the present cost
in tha t way.
?he increase in the budget for the Sanatorium maintenance is caused
by the increase in number of patients by Bayfield County. You will notice also
that the increase in State aid will more than offset this increase in the main-
tenance budget over last year.
In the County Nurse and County Agent budget we simply_ put in.
sufficient to run these officesi to the 1st day of January, 1925, as tine under-
stand that the terms of the present officials then expire and if the Board -
desires to engage them again, it should.provide a budget accordingly.
The budget for County Court takes care of salary of Judge and
Juvenile court only, including necessary supplies incident to this office.
Should the Board decide to engage a.clerk for.the County Judge they roust provide
an additional amount in this, budget to take care of clerk hire for County Court.
The committee recommends that if the Board alloys the item of
$1,000.00 alloted to community fairs. that a resolution be passed providing that
any community desiring to participate in county aid for community fairs must
raise a like amount from its corn unity. A limit of 5100.00 county aid to each.
community fair should be provided ai7d each community desiring such county aid
should then be required to meet the county aid with the like amount of :1100..00
maximum.
the County Clerk informs, us that it will probably be necessary
to borrow about ",Y5,000.00 to pay the running expenses of the county until taxes
are, paid in. A proper -resolution made up in legal form should be presented
providing for the borroiring of this. money necessary. '.e have placed $5,000.00
in the. budget to provide for this contingency.

ANNUAL MEETING OF T ITE B =;Y.r IELD COUNTY BOARD
- -- November 11 1924 `-- - --- --- -- --- -
The following report of the Building & Grounds. Committee was then read:
We the undersigned committee on Building and Grounds report as follows:
We have examined the bills and expenditures for the court house and find
that the appropriation has been exceeded by $1,252.72. Part of this is accounted
for -by the early purchase of the coal supply amounting to $805.00. By deducting
this amount there is still an overrun of €„447.72. Hovveve we are still within
the�amovunt recommended by the pre.vious Building & Grounds Committee which was
$4,000.00., but was reduced by the Board upon recommendation of the Finance Committee.
i
The -:;fishes of the Board regarding the varnishing of floors has been carried
out. The cost of varnishing floors in the court house was S11504.50. ;re, therefore,
I
recommend that the sum of. 13,500.00 be appropriated for the ensuing year for the
court house;
We also recommend that the sum of $2,500.00 be appropriated for the County
Jail. This is �'500.00 more than �T,ras a ^
5� appropriated last year. the e<:_penditures, for
the last two years has been 12,259.92 and Q2,540.21, respectively. The increase
last year was due to the raise in Jailor's salary fixed by the Board at the last
i
annual meeting.
I
The sheriff has requested that -the old pine floors upstairs in the Sheriff's
residence be replaced by hardwood floors. This is submitted to the Board without
recommendation. However, we feel that the floors are needed if the Board sees fit
i
to do so.
Respectfully submitted this llth day of November, 1924.

The following report on the County Nurse was then read:
To the Honorable County Board,
Bayfield County, Wisconsin.
Gentlemen:
The County Nurse Committee begs to report as follows:
The committee met November 6th at which time the County Nurse submitted a
report containing the following information:
During ten months of employment by Bayfield County she visited fifty-five
of the one hundred schools of the County and has examined 3,399 pupils. four
hundred cultures were taken of scarlet fever., measles and diphtheria in the Towns
of Mason, Eileen and Keystone. A clinic was held in Ashland in July where two
babies were taken from this County. A child's. clinic was held in Iron River in
August where twenty-nine babies were examined.
During the ten months her expenses in addition to her salary amounted to
0091.17. This amount does. not include clerk hire but covered merely her travel-
4
ing expenses.
Uh recommend for the coming year that the Counter Nurse's budget be. cut to
4P3 ,150 .00 .

the following report on Special Committee t.o investigate clerk hire for the
office of the county Judge was then read:
To the Honorable County Clerk, Bayfield County:
Dear. Sir : !
The undersigned special.eom7t:ittee having been duly appointed by the Chairman
of the County Board in accordance with the resolution for that purpose met on the 29th
I
day of September, 1924, at which time we conferred with the County Judge'in reference �
to the necessities of his office for clerk hire. i
Your committee became satisfied and duly reports to the County Board that
the County Judge needs clerical assistance in the conduct of his office and we there-
fore took action authorizing the employment of a clerk in said office for the balance
of -1,he fiscal year. Inasmuch as Judge Axelberg desired to excercise a'persona.l choice
" l
in the matter of the clerk :o be employed, your committee delegated him to find such
i
clerk for the time specified, it being understood that the cost of such clerk hire
should not exceed the sum of seventy-five dollars per month.
III amount of clerical work to be performed in that office is quite vol-
uminous and it is work of a character which a.public dfficial ought not to be required
to do, but should be done by someone qualified to do such work, Teaving the County
Judge free to devote his time and attention to the more important matters connected
With his office.

Your committee -desires to report further that in order to advise the County
Board as to the expense of maintaining County Courts in the neighboring counties, we
made inquiry as to the salaries. and allowances for County Courts- in the follo.,ving

Bayfield County, Wisconsin.
Gentlemen:
Attached hereto you will find a complete statement of the expenditures
out of the "mothers' pension fund" as, authorized by me as.Juvenile Judge., under
Section 48.33 of the Statutes.
A year ago I recommended a levy of $9,000 for this fund. I had no
idea that there would be so many new, cases corning up, and can only hope that the
coming year will not show any substantial increase, but not less than twelve
thousand dollars should be provided for the next fiscal year.
-0isbursements made out of the Mothers' Pension fund
During Fiscal Year ending October 31, 1924'.

Motion carried. Motion was made and, seconded that the informal
ballot be made formal and that the action of the chair be sustained. Itlotion carried.
The following resolution wao then read.:
Whereas, the State Highway `'ommission has made an order relocating
State Highway #10 from a point about four miles southeasterly, of I+aloquah at or near
the East end of the nevi grade recently made upon said highway; running 'thence
Esaterly and Northeasterly into the City of Ashland by new location, and
aIlhereas.a rehearing was held at the request of certain residents of
Bayfield County, and after said rehearing the State Highway Commission made an
order reaffirming its previous. determination to relocate said highway #10 as
aforesaid, and
Tiereas it appears to the County Board of Bayfield County that by
such relocation of said State Highway an excessive expense would be created for
Bayfield County in building said relocated highway through Bayfield County because
of the extremely difficult character Df the country over which said new highway
has'been relocated, and such relocation will be of much less scenic value than
either the present location or the suggested location known as the Peerless Grade,
and ffhereas the :_:aid relocated highway viill not serve any territory which
is. capable of.development agriculturally or othertvise, except such territory as is
already served by highways now in existence and which under such order of, relocation
are to constitute a part of said relocated highway 71-10, and
Whereas by such relocation the village of Iiloquah and a populous and
valuable agricultural district in the towns. of Pils.en'and Barksdale will be deprived
of the present location upon said State Highway, and
Miereas it appears that there will be no saving in distance by such
relocation of said highway, either for through traffic or for local traffic directed
toward the cities of ;Mashburn and Bayfield.
Nrw, therefore, be it resolved by the County Board of Bayfield County
at it annual November 1924 session convened, that it is the opinion of this County
roard :that such relocation of said highway and the building thereof will not result
in any advantage or benefit either to Bayfield County or to any territory served
by said State Highway #10, coimnensurate with, or such as to justify the said re-
location and the building of said highway as relocated.
Resolved further that this. County Board protes.ts.against such re-
location f said State Highway and respectfully requests of the State Highway
Commission that it reconsider the previous orders*in relation thereto and vacate
the same, and that. aaid high1;*L,y either be continued substantially u.on its present
location or that the railroad grade known as the "Peerleso Grade" be used in re-
locating said highway.
Resolved further that a copy of this resolution be published in the
official paper of Bayfield County, and that a copy thereof be submitted to the ,
Secretary of the State Highway 'Commission for the consideration of said coi,-miission.
